Dearest Brother hold me here
Safe in your embrace
For I feel, death is near
Her breath upon my face
Across the Irish sea, you came to rescue me
Leading an army to avenge my shame
Two islands torn apart, like my broken heart
From your army just seven remain
Sister I heard you calling to me
O'er the Irish sea
I brought a war to those foreign shores
For to set you free
Now I feel I'm dying poison in my veins
But for you my dear Sister I'd do it again
I can hear as I close my eyes
The screams of my young Son
Cast into the burning fire
By Efnysien
After death I'll find peace, all of my pain will cease
Brother you are my dearest friend
Now I will welcome death, I will draw my last breath
And this Raven will fly again
Lay her body within the Earth
In this four-cornered tomb
So her Spirit will know rebirth
From our Mother's womb
And though you lie in the earth so cold
Know that your story will forever be told
Bury my head facing over the sea
And while it remains this land will be free
